Christian America and the Kingdom of God: White Christian Nationalism from the Puritans through January 6, 2021 de Richard T. Hughes

Christian America and the Kingdom of God: White Christian Nationalism from the Puritans through January 6, 2021

Autor Richard T. Hughes, Christina Littlefield Cuvânt înainte de Randall Balmer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 feb 2025
The myth of a Christian America fuels a powerful political force sure of its moral superiority and intent on implementing a Christian nationalist agenda. Richard T. Hughes and Christina Littlefield draw on discussions of civil religion and forms of nationalism to explore the complex legal and cultural arguments for a Christian America. The authors also provide an in-depth examination of the Bible’s words on the “chosen nation” and “kingdom of God” that Christian nationalists quote to support the idea of the US as a Christian nation. A timely new edition of the acclaimed work, Christian America and the Kingdom of God spotlights how the centuries-long pursuit of a Christian America has bred an aggressive white Christian nationalism that twists faith, unleashes unchristian behavior, and threatens the nation.

Recenzii

“This very thoughtful, very thorough book describes and attacks what the authors name as white Christian nationalism. It offers both meticulous documentation of this phenomenon and its disastrous fruit, and critiques it on the basis of Scripture, notably the central biblical concept of the kingdom of God. The authors join many of us who are attempting to resist a version of Christianity and of US national identity that we believe to be both illusory and dangerous. May they find many readers for their important work.”--David P. Gushee, author of Defending Democracy from its Christian Enemies
"If American Christians are serious about their citizenship in the kingdom of God, they should start to think in complex and nuanced ways--both theologically and historically--about how Jesus’s Kingdom relates to the values, ideals, and yes, the sins, of the United States. Richard Hughes and Christina Littlefield’s Christian America and the Kingdom of God is a great place to start. This book is a gift to the academy and the church.”--John Fea, author of Was America Founded as a Christian Nation?: A Historical Introduction
